The Child Puzzle - what makes my child tick

Supporting your child with SEND.

An interactive light bite masterclass which looks at understanding behaviour by looking at the unique personality of your child in a way that unlocks the door to effective communication and strengthens relationships.

We are still waiting for a number of Personal Support Plans to be returned. These are for some children who have additional support to help them meet their educational and personal objectives. If relevant, please can you double check that you have signed a copy and returned it to us.

We really value your comments and feedback to check that we are aligned about the priorities for your child. Having up to date PSPs in school informs our intervention planning, and is an important part of our provision under the SEN Code of Practice.

If you would like to discuss the objectives written on the Personal Support Plan, please feel free to speak to your child's Class Teacher, or to get in touch with me directly. Many thanks, Mrs Nichols

I have been sent details of the following course for parents. Details are included below for how to book a place. Many thanks, Mrs Nichols.

Anxiety Masterclass

This unique and inspiring parenting masterclass develops confidence in understanding anxiety and discusses how to explain the process to children, reduce a child’s stress levels and help children recognise their early warning signs whilst developing safe ways to deal with their anxiety. There will also be opportunity to practise strategies to help children manage anxiety and develop good emotional wellbeing

I hope that you have all had a very happy and fun filled summer holiday. I am looking forward to seeing all the children next week and hearing all about their adventures.

As you are getting ready for the new term, please can you make sure that any asthma inhalers, spacers are fully labelled with your child's name, and that they are in date. Please make a note of date of expiry so that you can ensure we always have in date medicine in school. It is helpful if you provide the inhaler in a see through plastic bag so it can be found quickly.

For ongoing asthma conditions that we are already aware of, please fill in a green medical form for the academic year 2017 -2018 which gives parental consent for staff to administer medicine. You should have received these when the old inhaler was returned in July, or additional copies are available from the office.

If your child has a newly diagnosed condition or your child is new to the school this year, you will need to fill in a green medical form but you will also need to complete an Individual Health Care Plan which gives us more information about your child's symptoms, triggers and needs. Email me at : This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and I can either email you a form, or arrange an appointment to meet with me to discuss, whichever is more convenient.

If your child has any other medical needs that you wish to discuss, please feel free to speak to your child's new teacher, or get in touch with me. Please note that I only work part time (2 days per week) so I will respond to your email as soon as possible but it may not always be immediately.
